Another attack on Pakistani Soil.

There is talk in the news of a second raid in Pakistan to take down another target. This is a very touchy subject, the Pakistani Gov. is not happy about our last raid because we didn't inform them of the raid. This makes for a difficult choice on the U.S. part because of the success in the raid. Fox news said; "

Evidence from the scene where bin Laden died -- described as the largest intelligence find ever from a senior terror leader -- could lead the United States to other terrorists on Pakistani soil." This puts another hitch in the whole mess. The U.S. now has evidence that could lead to another terrorist either being captured or eliminated.

On the other side, the Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani  has stated that they are relieved by the death of Bin laden. He also said that the U.S. better not try another raid like the first without informing the government in Islamabad. The Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani continued to say ( as stated by Fox News); "his country would not relent in rooting out terrorists, but warned any 'overt or covert' attack against its assets would be met with a 'matching response.'"

"However, Obama also questioned whether anybody inside the Pakistani government might have known about bin Laden's location all along."

"'We were surprised that he could maintain a compound like that for that long without there being a tip-off,' Obama said. 'We think that there had to be some sort of support network for bin Laden inside of Pakistan. But we don't know who or what that support network was. We don't know whether there might have been some people inside of government, people outside of government, and that's something that we have to investigate and, more importantly, the Pakistani government has to investigate.'"

What is the U.S. to do? How would President Obama make the right choice, to protect our country from terrorists, and continue to please Pakistan? This problem has occurred before, maybe not on this scale but the same question as to which choice is the right choice. Many have found the method in how to answer these types of questions. The answer is prayer, that may seem simple and out dated but in whom do we trust? Who can we rely on to lead us in the right direction? The founding fathers of the United States relied on God. I rely on God and so many others rely on God. This country was founded by God fearing men, but also God seeking men. It is God that enlightened, and empowered this great country to become what it is, and it is God who can help us now.

War on Terror, Peace in the Gospel

"...I venture to say something about the war and the gospel we teach.
"The nations of the earth have been divided over the present situation. Feelings have run strong. There have been demonstrations for and against.
"War, of course, is not new. The weapons change. The ability to kill and destroy is constantly refined. But there has been conflict throughout the ages over essentially the same issues." President Gordon B. Hinckley, War and Peace.

President Obama delivered news to the United States of America recently of the death of Osama Bin Laden. Its not news to anyone of this event, nor is it news that we are still in a war. Since Im a missionary I tend to think of everything and its relation with the gospel.

 President Hinckley gave a talk in a General Conference about War and Peace. I think he made a great relation of the war on terror to the war in heaven(Rev. 12). He talked about how the nations of the earth have been divided over the war on terror. In heaven there was great division as well. We see today that there are men in the world that seek to oppress, and murder innocent people for there own selfish causes. I can only imagine or Father in Heavens sadness as he watches His children destroy each other. Our purpose in coming to this earth was not to destroy but to build. We were sent to grow and learn, experience sorrow and joy, all for a greater purpose, to become like God, and live with Him once more as eternal families. It brings gladness to me to see an evil man brought to justice, but sadness in remembering how many have given there lifes to preserve mine from evil men.
